Most of you probably don't know that at one time I was a hairdresser! When a request came through the Scrap Outside the Box Wishing Box for a "hair kit", I could instantly see the finished kit in my head, and I just had to do it!

Most of us do it. If we don't do it now, we've probably done it in the past. I know that I've done it... over and over again. That's right, I've colored my hair (sometimes some very unnatural colors!), permed my hair, and done all kinds of things in the name of beauty!

This kit has all kinds of paraphernalia for the things that we do to our hair as well as all of the more typical scrapbooking items. There are 10 backgrounds, 3 oversized buttons (with separate stitching), 1 grungy tag, 1 mini tag, 1 ribbon fold, 1 ribbon cluster, 1 ribbon tie, stitching to hold your ribbons down, a row of messy stitches, 3 ribbons, 1 staple, 1 safety pin, 3 definitions, 1 tint bottle, 1 tint tube, 1 tint brush, and 1 perm rod! There is also a complete upper and lower case alphabet with numbers and symbols.

I'm a work at home mom to my wonderful son. Without him, I would never have discovered scrapbooking. Scrapbooking was love at first sight for me, since it lets me incorporate so many of my other crafting skills.

I've been doing crafts of all sorts since I was a very small child. My mommy taught me to sew, knit, and crochet before I was three years old. I've tried almost every craft that I've come across, and I love them all.

I've been doing graphic design of one kind or another for almost 15 years, and I love that it allows me to create heirloom memories for my family, and change things over and over until I'm satisfied with the results. I'm a recent hybrid scrapper, and love having the ability to combine the best of both worlds!

What an adventure this has become! I put a lot of time and attention to detail into my designs, and hope that you enjoy using
them as much as I enjoy creating them.

A few years ago, I was honored to be among the digital scrapbook designers that were chosen to participate in a very special episode of ABC's Extreme Makeover - Home Edition.
